Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method and system for transmitting data between a client device and a plurality of endpoint devices, such as law firm servers, using a common web interface. The technical effects of this patent include improved efficiency in data transmission, simplified access to client device information, and enhanced security measures. Overall, this patent provides a more streamlined and secure way to communicate data between different devices using a common network.

Problems solved by technology

This approach may be undesirable in that it requires maintaining replicated databases that may contain sensitive data.
In addition, this approach may be undesirable because it may be difficult to synchronize the replicated databases to ensure that they contain current data.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Referring generally to the figures, embodiments described herein are directed to methods and systems for accessing databases using a common web interface. More specifically, the embodiments described herein may provide a common web interface to client devices through which the client devices may access databases that the client devices are authorized to access. The common web interface may provide access to multiple databases to multiple client devices, where each user of a client device may only be authorized to access a subset of the databases accessible to the common web interface. The databases accessible to the common web interface are typically located remotely from the common web interface. Accordingly, embodiments described herein may avoid maintaining replicated databases co-located with the common web interface. Various embodiments of methods and systems for enabling a client device to receive data from an endpoint device using a common web interface are described in...

Abstract

Methods and systems for accessing databases using a common web interface are provided. A method for transmitting data retrieved from an endpoint device to a client device using a common web interface includes providing the common web interface to the client device. The common web interface allows access to a plurality of endpoint devices, each endpoint device comprising a unique endpoint address. The method further includes receiving, by a computer, identification data from the client device, retrieving an endpoint address for one of the plurality of endpoint devices based on the identification data, connecting to the endpoint device corresponding to the endpoint address, retrieving data from the endpoint device, and transmitting the retrieved data to the client device.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field[0002]The present specification generally relates to methods of accessing databases and, more particularly, methods and systems for accessing databases using a common web interface.[0003]2. Technical Background[0004]A user of a mobile computing device, such as a cell phone or smart phone may desire to retrieve data from a database located in a location remote from the mobile computing device or record data to a database located in a location remote from the mobile computing device. The user may utilize a web browser executing on the mobile computing device to access the database from which data will be retrieved or data will be recorded. In order to access the database, the web browser executing on the mobile device may interface with a website that is capable of accessing the database.[0005]It may be desirable for a website to provide access to databases located within separate computer networks so that multiple mobile computing device users may access the d...
